fixedbyzero

Price fixed-rate note from set of zero curves

Syntax

[Price,DirtyPrice,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(RateSpec,CouponRate,Settle,Maturity)

[Price,DirtyPrice,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(___,Name,Value)

Description

[Price,DirtyPrice,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(RateSpec,CouponRate,Settle,Maturity) prices a fixed-rate note from a set of zero curves.

[Price,DirtyPrice,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(___,Name,Value) adds additional name-value pair arguments.

Examples

Price a 4% Fixed-Rate Note Using a Set of Zero Curves

This example shows how to price a 4% fixed-rate note using a set of zero curves by loading the file deriv.mat, which provides ZeroRateSpec, the interest-rate term structure needed to price the note.

load deriv.mat 

CouponRate = 0.04;
Settle = '01-Jan-2000';
Maturity = '01-Jan-2003';

Price = fixedbyzero(ZeroRateSpec, CouponRate, Settle, Maturity)

Price = 98.7159

Pricing a Fixed-Fixed Cross Currency Swap

Assume that a financial institution has an existing swap with three years left to maturity where they are receiving 5% per year in yen and paying 8% per year in USD. The reset frequency for the swap is annual, the principals for the two legs are 1200 million yen and $10 million USD, and both term structures are flat.

Settle = datenum('15-Aug-2015');
Maturity = datenum('15-Aug-2018');
Reset = 1;

r_d = .09;
r_f = .04;

FixedRate_d = .08;
FixedRate_f = .05;

Principal_d = 10000000;
Principal_f = 1200000000;

S0 = 1/110;

Construct term structures.

RateSpec_d = intenvset('StartDate',Settle,'EndDate',Maturity,'Rates',r_d,'Compounding',-1);
RateSpec_f = intenvset('StartDate',Settle,'EndDate',Maturity,'Rates',r_f,'Compounding',-1);

Use fixedbyzero:

B_d = fixedbyzero(RateSpec_d,FixedRate_d,Settle,Maturity,'Principal',Principal_d,'Reset',Reset);
B_f = fixedbyzero(RateSpec_f,FixedRate_f,Settle,Maturity,'Principal',Principal_f,'Reset',Reset);

Compute swap price. Based on Hull (see References), a cross currency swap can be valued with the following formula V_swap = S0*B_f − B_d.

V_swap = S0*B_f - B_d

V_swap = 1.5430e+06

Input Arguments

RateSpec — Annualized zero rate term structure

structure

Annualized zero rate term structure, specified using intenvset to create a RateSpec.

Data Types: struct

CouponRate — Annual rate

decimal

Annual rate, specified as NINST-by-1 decimal annual rate or a NINST-by-1 cell array where each element is a NumDates-by-2 cell array and the first column is dates and the second column is associated rates. The date indicates the last day that the coupon rate is valid.

Data Types: double | cell

Settle — Settlement date

serial date number | character vector

Settlement date, specified either as a scalar or NINST-by-1 vector of serial date numbers or date character vectors.

Settle must be earlier than Maturity.

Data Types: char | double

Maturity — Maturity date

serial date number | character vector

Maturity date, specified as a NINST-by-1 vector of serial date numbers or date character vectors representing the maturity date for each fixed-rate note.

Data Types: char | double

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: [Price,DirtyPrice,CFlowAmounts,CFlowDates] = fixedbyzero(RateSpec,CouponRate,Settle,Maturity,'Principal',Principal)

FixedReset — Frequency of payments per year

1 (default) | vector

Frequency of payments per year, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'FixedReset' and a NINST-by-1 vector.

Data Types: double

Basis — Day count basis

0 (actual/actual) (default) | integer from 0 to 13

Day count basis, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Basis' and a NINST-by-1 vector.

• 0 = actual/actual

• 1 = 30/360 (SIA)

• 2 = actual/360

• 3 = actual/365

• 4 = 30/360 (PSA)

• 5 = 30/360 (ISDA)

• 6 = 30/360 (European)

• 7 = actual/365 (Japanese)

• 8 = actual/actual (ICMA)

• 9 = actual/360 (ICMA)

• 10 = actual/365 (ICMA)

• 11 = 30/360E (ICMA)

• 12 = actual/365 (ISDA)

• 13 = BUS/252

For more information, see Basis.

Data Types: double

Principal — Notional principal amounts or principal value schedules

100 (default) | vector or cell array

Notional principal amounts, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Principal' and a vector or cell array.

Principal accepts a NINST-by-1 vector or NINST-by-1 cell array, where each element of the cell array is a NumDates-by-2 cell array and the first column is dates and the second column is its associated notional principal value. The date indicates the last day that the principal value is valid.

Data Types: cell | double

EndMonthRule — End-of-month rule flag for generating dates when Maturity is end-of-month date for month having 30 or fewer days

1 (in effect) (default) | nonnegative integer [0,1]

End-of-month rule flag for generating dates when Maturity is an end-of-month date for a month having 30 or fewer days, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'EndMonthRule' and a nonnegative integer [0, 1] using a NINST-by-1 vector.

• 0 = Ignore rule, meaning that a payment date is always the same numerical day of the month.

• 1 = Set rule on, meaning that a payment date is always the last actual day of the month.

Data Types: logical

AdjustCashFlowsBasis — Flag to adjust cash flows based on actual period day count

false (default) | value of 0 (false) or 1 (true)

Flag to adjust cash flows based on actual period day count, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'AdjustCashFlowsBasis' and a NINST-by-1 vector of logicals with values of 0 (false) or 1 (true).

BusinessDayConvention — Business day conventions

actual (default) | character vector | cell array of character vectors

Business day conventions, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'BusinessDayConvention' and a character vector or a N-by-1 cell array of character vectors of business day conventions. The selection for business day convention determines how non-business days are treated. Non-business days are defined as weekends plus any other date that businesses are not open (e.g. statutory holidays). Values are:

• actual — Non-business days are effectively ignored. Cash flows that fall on non-business days are assumed to be distributed on the actual date.

• follow — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the following business day.

• modifiedfollow — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the following business day. However if the following business day is in a different month, the previous business day is adopted instead.

• previous — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day.

• modifiedprevious — Cash flows that fall on a non-business day are assumed to be distributed on the previous business day. However if the previous business day is in a different month, the following business day is adopted instead.

More About

Fixed-Rate Note

A fixed-rate note is a long-term debt security with a preset interest rate and maturity, by which the interest must be paid.

The principal may or may not be paid at maturity. In Financial Instruments Toolbox™, the principal is always paid at maturity. For more information, see Fixed-Rate Note.
